• Serpent Daughter by D J Butler

    From Bobbie Sellers@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 19 19:07:11 2024
    "Serpent daughter : the witchy queen rides to battle" by DJ Butler

    This is the 4th volume of the series. I hoped it was the
    end because I am getting on 87 yoa but we are left hanging in
    several interlocking stories of the individual characters on
    both sides of the struggle against Thomas Penn, Emperor of the
    League and of Pennsland. He is an elected Emperor and murdered
    his sister to take her inheritance. His evil magic is so tough
    that other wizards cannot touch him. His ally is the ghost of
    the Necromancer, Oliver Cromwell, whose new model army was wooden
    men activated by demons. Now he has built them as giants with the
    same power source. And you would never believe what Queen Sarah of
    Cahokia rides to battle.

    Better start reading the series now as it only gets more
    complicated so far we have these
    Witchy Eye (2017) Really liked this one
    Witchy Winter (2018) All the rest are moving the story
    Witchy Kingdom (2019) forward
    Serpent Daughter (2020) see above.

    The Covid restrictions let me miss this last one.
    until now.
    I am surprised that the next one is not out but not
    greatly as this is long and complicated story of
    a North America rotten with magic.

    bliss

    Thank you, this is interesting.  Are you sure
    that the titles are _Witchy Eye_ etc. as this
    seems to me rather undignified for serious
    high fantasy.  So I'm wonderingy if the writingy
    on the fronty is fancy and it looksy like certain
    words end in -y but they don'ty.  ;-)

    Yes that is correct and the races and orthography
    differ in this strange invented America.
    We have giants and the walking dead.
    Here eye is witchy because i think it has
    an acorn stuck in by magic at or before birth. Her
    siblings have similar distortions.
    Besides I copied the titles from a web
    site. They only give those titles and they want to
    sell those books.
